If a player still has a pawn, this pawn can be promoted to a greater piece (Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight -- usually the Queen is chosen) and, if the queen or rook is chosen, this means a win for the player starting with the pawn. Stalemate only occurs if the pawn is captured by the opponent before it can be promoted. Also, if a player is left with only a king and knight, or only a king and bishop, and the opponent only has a king, or a king with either (a bishop or knight), in these situations, it is impossible to bring the opponent to checkmate. Only with the king and a rook or (obviously) with the king and a queen, can checkmate be accomplished.
Because he supported Reginald de Broc and the king in the quarrel with Becket. The feud was not Henry II vs the Church, it was Henry II and various members of the church, including the Archbishop of York and the Bishops of London and Salisbury vs Becket.
No. It is logically impossible to checkmate the opposing king with a pinned piece. Checkmate can occur only after a player moves one of his pieces to put the opposing king in check. Since the "pinned piece" is pinned and cannot move, it is incapable of checkmating the other king. In the case of discovered check it is possible for a pinned piece to checkmate. It is possible nevertheless to mate with a direct check using a piece that becomes pinned as a result of the move. Here is a position, with white to move: k7/7R/K3b3/1Q6/8/8/8/8 (for those who do not understand this antiquated notation, white has Ka6, Rh7, Qb5, and black has Ka8, Be6) white black 1 Rh8 † Bc8 † 2 Qb7†† Black, on move 1, blocks white's rook check along the last rank. In doing so he checks white's king on a6, and it is a legitimate check, even though the bishop is pinned. When white then interposes the queen to block the bishop check, the black king is in a mated position. His bishop cannot capture the pinned queen, because it is itself pinned! And the white queen does in fact threaten the black king because she would capture it before the black bishop had opportunity to capture the white king.
